The reason for Art for Food





These pictures of our warehouse demonstrate how little food we have. According to Rudi Sommer, MANNA’s Director of Operations, this is the worst he’s seen it in 12 years. These pictures were taken on September 22, 2008.

Read more at MANNA's site about the organization, and learn how you can help.

Then come to the event, pick out some beautiful art, and help neighbors in need at the same time.
